Arenal Vista Lodge is a comfortable lodge set on a hill near the village of El Castillo in the La Fortuna area of Costa Rica, offering stunning views of Arenal Volcano and Lake Arenal from many rooms.
The hotel is located about 25–30 km (roughly 30–40 minutes by car) from the town of La Fortuna, making it a peaceful place to stay slightly outside the busiest areas while still being close to restaurants, tours and nature attractions.
Rooms at the lodge are spacious, with private bathrooms and balconies or terraces offering scenic views. On-site amenities include a restaurant and bar, swimming pool, free parking, Wi-Fi, and often breakfast included depending on your booking. You can enjoy watching wildlife and birds from the grounds, as the lodge sits within the biological corridor between the Monteverde cloud forest and Arenal Volcano National Park.
This makes it a great base for exploring the Arenal area while enjoying a quieter setting surrounded by nature.
